Description

UPDATE 09/08/2020

We are at the moment looking new projects in Spain, after a wonderful experience in Panamá.


Hello!
We are Irene (Italo-Spanish) and Rubén (Spanish), a young couple united by destiny 9 years ago, we have lived and shared many experiences in different countries: Spain, Italy and the small Mediterranean island of Malta. Together we have discovered our passion for traveling, exploring new places and cultures, continuously learning and discovering different lifestyles.
Goal of our trip?
We will embark on a trip without a return date, to discover all the beauty and singularities that the countries of Central and South America hide.
With these experiences we seek to disconnect from a stressful society,
consumerist, individualist and competitive. We would like to experience the authenticity of each site, the value of simple things and connect with nature.
We hope to learn a lot from this experience, new values, lifestyles, activities, jobs and connect with people from other cultures.

What else ...

Something else about us:

Irene (27 years old),
woman,
I am a child educator,
I like pedagogy, psychology, philosophy and continuously learning new things. And I have very good knowledge of technology / internet.
I am a responsible, rational, organized, creative person and I always put 100% of myself in everything I do.
I like nature, go on excursions and always discover new places.
All my life I have been restless, with the need to change air from time to time and start again in a new place.
I like challenges to test myself and learn a little more of me and life.
I like meeting new people, exchanging cultures, lifestyles and building strong friendships.
I like art, crafts, decoration, photography and writing as hobbies.
I am interested in yoga and meditation and I would like to learn more about these very interesting practices.


Rubén (34 years old),
Man,
I have experience in multiple sectors and good adaptability and learning. I have studies and knowledge of photography and video recording.
I like to stay informed about the news through social networks, and I have developed good computer skills thanks to my latest jobs.
Meeting Irene was the perfect excuse to release my desire to travel and live in other countries. My first experience outside my comfort zone was a challenge and I discovered that I love the challenge of starting completely from scratch in another country.
I am a positive, outgoing, sociable person and I love meeting new people.
My hobbies are sports in general, reading and music. I would be interested to learn new adventure sports that I have not been able to practice so far, such as surfing, diving, climbing..
I would also like to continue learning martial arts.

We both love the beach, the sea and the air that is breathed in these places;) Just as we like nature a lot .... we are sure that the countries we will visit will have the perfect combo !!
